In the dtawing accompanying this speci-' ficetion and forming a part thereof, the preferable form ofmyinvention has been illustrated, in which Figure l is a view in perspective of my improvedoollar' and sweat pad. Fig. 2 is a. cross sectional view taken on the line 2+2 of Fig.1. m

' Referring to the dr au'ings in which similar reference numerels'designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the body portion 3 of the collar is formed of a continuous strip of leather, duck, or allied material and is stuffed, so as to maintain its shape, with'the material 4.- The edges of the material of which the collar is formed are indicated at 5 at which juncture they overlap somelittle distance, allowing for their proper and ellica-cious securen ent. "llie collar is provided with or includes the usual rim 6 and to the-line of between the rim and body portion'ofthe collar is sewed the reinforcing strip 7. .lhe strip is formed of leather or ellied textile ma' terial and extends entirely around rim, beingsewed at one extremity 8 to the outer juncture. of the rim and-collar and at its inner ly"to'one which con-f Specification of Letters Peient.
